Hadn't heard of those breed back requirements. That is interesting. Do you think if you breed a top quality mare to a big money stallion and drop the foal in NY or LA instead of KY it will have any impact on the foal's chance of success? I would think the fact that if the foal doesn't amount to much that it could still get a win and maybe even a stakes win in statebred company would help improve the stallion's numbers and make it more appealing for the breeding farms to book out of state mares. I guess those same farms though are probably making a boatload off keeping many of those mares on their farms so that becomes the primary consideration which makes sense.
